To have loved and lost, or never to have loved at all?
Alice Browning discovers her fiancé, Robert Everton, stood her up on the night of her graduation, to spend the night with another girl. Alice finds out Robert was only interested in her for her money. From now on she will be much more discerning when it comes to choosing a groom. No man will again know about her inheritance - she is merely nurse Browning. Alice breaks away on a holiday with her aunt to the small town of Arundel where she once again encounters the handsome stranger she briefly met in the city. The handsome Oliver Howard is the adopted son of Sir and Lady Howard of Stanton Estate in Arundel. He is a young, attractive, and very successful cardiologist. But Oliver will never open his heart to love, because Stanton Manor and the people living in this glorious mansion still hides the secret of his lineage - and some secrets of their own. Aunt Emily hates Oliver and she had banned Oliver from the manor. Oliver has not returned to Stanton Manor in twelve years. But now Uncle William is dying of cancer, and Oliver's chances to find the answers to his lineage are getting slimmer with each passing day as he tries to find his answers hidden inside the manor which he may not enter. The sparks immediately fly between Oliver and Alice. Oliver thinks of Alice as a pretty, empty-headed form of entertainment, and Alice is tired of men treating her like a fool. Oliver can never offer his love to a girl when he doesn't even know who he is... He is a man without a name. Alice learns the most unexpected thing that can happen in life is love, and it is very possible to love that one wrong person. Can love be enough to unite two broken hearts or will it always be about money?
